Our 99Kw John Deere generator is up and running!! One of two main gen sets (plus one back up) which provide power for the ship when the engine is not running. This is a hugely powerful, and crucial piece of equipment for the ship.

For a review that explains how the Velodyne Martinin 1.5 works: http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/03/the-velodyne-martini-1-5-active-suspension-on-a-boat/ For more videos from the Miami Boat Show, visit www.boats.com. The Velodyne Martini 1.5 was the wackiest, and most technically impressive, thing I saw at this year's Miami International Boat Show. In a nutshell, the Martini 1.5—so-named because it will keep your drink from sloshing—is a pontoon boat with active suspension. The system is the creation of Velodyne founder David Hall and a team of very enthusiastic engineers, some of whom were at Miami and gave me a demo ride on the boat. Hall and the Velodyne name may be familiar to audiophiles, as he got his start in 1983 with a patented, accelerometer-based High Gain Servo System to control sub-woofer cone movement. The company, which is based on the fringe of Silicon Valley near Morgan Hill, California, is still in the speaker business and has also developed the Velodyne LiDAR system used for 3D mapping. At Miami, one of the engineers explained that the Martini 1.5 is based on the same premise as their original speaker, "but instead of measuring and reacting to the movement of the speaker cone, we are reacting to the movement of the boat deck to cancel out the action of the waves."

I slightly modified the grip on my Glock 36. I got rid of the little finger nubs because my fingers are way too fat for the factory grip. I taped the gun off with painters tape. I then used a dremel tool and sand paper until I got to this point. I also rounded out some of the trigger guard, because the squareness of it hurt my fingers. Once I buy some gun oil I think it will look pretty much perfect.
